Strawberry Pie Sweetened with Honey

Every year when the strawberries begin to ripen, I start craving strawberry desserts. But I’m always on the hunt for healthy strawberry dessert recipes.

This strawberry pie recipe is sweetened with honey, one of my favorite natural sweeteners. The honey in this recipe gives the pie a mildly sweet flavor that our family finds delicious!

I’m calling this recipe “rustic,” because the end result is a very rustic, homey-looking pie!

I was busy having a conversation with one of my children while I was forming the crust and lattice. My lack of attention caused it to be a bit less-than-perfect, but still beautiful in a rustic sort of way!

We have two raised beds filled with strawberries. One raised bed is filled with regular red strawberries, and the other raised bed contains pineberries. Pineberries are a type of white strawberry. The  pineberries worked well for this pie, but plain red strawberries are my favorite.

How to Make Strawberry Pie Sweetened with Honey

Here’s how to make this easy strawberry pie sweetened with honey.

First, I mixed up the pie crust. For this pie, I just used a regular double pie crust made with unbleached flour. You could also use your favorite gluten-free pie crust. Any pie crust recipe will work here.

While the crust was chilling in the fridge, I went out to the garden to pick some fresh strawberries. We already had some in the fridge, but I needed about 6 cups for this recipe, so I went to pick another cup or two.

Then, I washed and hulled the berries, and set those aside.

After that, I removed one disk of pie crust from the refrigerator, and rolled it out into a circle. Then, I placed it in the pie dish and set that aside.

After the bottom crust was prepared, I rolled out the other half of the chilled pie crust dough, and cut it into lattice strips.

Next, it was time to mix together the strawberry pie filling.

And finally, I poured the strawberry pie filling into the prepared pie crust and topped it with the lattice and placed it in the oven to bake!
